After Flashing Stock Rom From fastboot phone powered on normally, as the firmware was of marshmallow, I was updating it to nougat, but while installing system update, it powered off and now it won't turn on!
The bootloader was unlocked, and I flashed the supersu zip which caused the bootloop which forced me to flash the stock rom!:(:(
please Help!

Ensure you have a good charger and charge it for a few hours. While you're waiting, download the stock ROM from Moto. Then remove it from the charger and press and hold vol down and power for at least 60 seconds , and I've seen it take up to 2-3 min. It should get you into fastboot at least. Then you can follow instructions from this site on how to flash the stock rom

While plugging in your Moto G4 hold the volume down button and it should boot to the bootloader screen. From there flash stock firmware in adb and fastboot.

Service Center Told me Motherboard needs replace as the Bootloader is Corrupt :(
and yes it is really 80% Of the phone's cost!
I will make a thread of what mistakes I did And How to Avoid Them, so in future no one will get this Problem! :)
Peace!

Gosh! that's something I'm going to do soon. I unlocked bootloader to get my g4 to be rooted.
now I cannot install the ota updates although I received it and it asked me for updating a couple of times per day.

I planned to flash stock, then install ota updates to nougat.
1. unlocked bootloader,
2. flash stock,
3. update
we're doing the same thing. if this route didn't work, I don't need to flash stock at all. thanks for sharing this.

it's about a month now. what is the latest news of your g4?

Service Center Said Bootloader is Corrupt. So My Moto is dead probably :( :(
And don't follow above route at all, we can't update through OTA when custom recovery is installed. (In this case TWRP)
Hit thanks if that Helped!

I feel sorry for your g4. thanks for sharing the experience.
I am planning to flash everything back to stock, including the recovery. the day-to-day update notifier drives me crazy, I have to go back to stock to update and get rid of this fxxking notification:angel::angel:

Bootloader is not corrupt. Their repair team is just novice.
